Today I'm joined by Joe from the Deeep Fried Friends podcast for the second of two episodes on the Rote Armee Fraktion aka the Red Army Faction aka the Baader-Meinhof Gang. We examine this group through the lens of the film, the Baader Meinhof Complex. Joe walks us through the second half of the film where the RAF executes a series of increasingly alienating terrorist actions.
We go over the various types of blowback this brought down on Germany and the Left. We discuss the second and third generations which were even more compromised and untethered from the workers and the masses than the first generation. We talk about the film's director and producer and their weird careers, and then get to the meat of how the RAF was undoubtedly manipulated by state actors on both sides.
Episode 2:

Ulrike’s Brain is Missing by Luke Haines
There's Gonna Be an Accident by Baader Meinhof (Luke Haines)

Bonus Episode 17 - the Life and Times of Ryōichi Sasakawa part 1: Aviation, Extortion, Organized Crime, Ultranationalism, Moral Rearmament, and the Moonies feat. Keith Allen Dennis
(unlocked from Patreon)
Today I'm joined by a special guest, the great Keith Allen Dennis, to discuss Ryōichi Sasakawa, the world's richest fascist. In this episode, we cover Sasakawa's early life through into the 1950s and 1960s, but largely focus on his pre-war and wartime activities.
Along the way, we discuss Sasakawa's interest in aviation, his legitimate and illegitimate business ventures, his entry into the world of organized crime, and the general ultranationalist milieu. Along the way, Dennis tells us about Moral Rearmament as well as the Moonie connections. Part 2 will cover more of Sasakawa's life from the 1950s on through the rest of his life.
"more like Sus-akawa, am I right?"
